Abstract:
Throughout the history of humanity, faith has been
used as a rehabilitation tool as well as tool of hope. Particularly
for a troubled and stressed population psychologists have
commended the use of faith convictions as part of the remedies of
such situations.The use of prison religious programs presents a
unique opportunity to channel inmates into the straight and
narrow. In this regard, faith is being used as a tool for the
rehabilitation of inmates in prison owing to the restrictive and
restorative qualities faith has had in the course of history. This
paper explores the use of faith and the role of faith providers in
the process of rehabilitating inmates in Kenyan prisons.
